When My Bed Shakes Back
71. Ravishness

...Happy Reading's...

It had been almost an hour of my wishful thinking to fly around the mini reservoir, until the screams of the little boy and his mother managed to seize my view.

" Son.. don't run away, it's late afternoon baby, we go home yuk?" Shouted a woman wearing a syar'i hijab who looked exhausted while chasing her active daughter.

" Mama..I'm going there, let's go after me. Let's go after me..." The cry of the little boy who was even more carefree was immeasurable.

" Stop son, don't run, watch your step, fall sick dear."

Sweat pours out on the sidelines of the hijab, because the atmosphere of the afternoon was also quite humid, so make the mother of the child, stop and flick her hands to just look for the wind around her.

" Mama..why stop, let's go after me!" Shouted the boy about two years old more, while his mother was left quite far behind.

" It's enough son, mama's tired, let's go home." His shout back, his strength that may have been drained a lot made him tired quickly when he had to run there.

Brugh!

" Aw.. mama.sick."

Sure enough, the curly-haired but soft-headed and two-painted child cried with all his strength, because his knees were slightly bleeding from being hit by small pebbles.

" Are you okay pretty?"

I immediately crouched down and helped her, because the little girl whose face resembled a doll had fallen right in front of me.

" Uncle's pain, hiks.." The boy's cry grew louder, he was afraid to see blood on his knee.

" Take a look at uncle's wound here." I immediately carried him and sat on the bench I was sitting on.

" About uncle, hiks. hyks..." He was crying more and more because of it.

" It's okay, here uncle help clean up first." I immediately took the mineral water that I brought earlier and washed it around the little girl's wound.

" Mama also said what son, don't run around falling." Finally his mother ran back to chase him here while bored.

" Aaaa.. hua..."

His name is also a small child, when approached instead of being calm, but his crying even more so.

" God, don't cry, shame on the uncle who helped you, son." Her mother immediately took the girl into her carrier without having time to look at me who kept looking at her, because at first glance I seemed to recognize her.

" Curorpora?"

I could hardly believe it when I remembered the woman.

" Ay?"

Likewise with this woman who was hijab in front of me, she looked up to see me, maybe she tried to make sure it was true or not her vision that afternoon.

" You how's Kejora? I haven't seen you in a long time, so this beautiful girl is your daughter?" I directly rubbed the girl's cheeks, and miraculously the little boy immediately smiled at me, without any fear at all.

" Yes A.. thank God it is good, this is my daughter, her name is Diamond, love first love uncle." The direct shock helped extend his daughter's hand to shake hands with me.

" Hmm... How's Farah doing? has she been living with you lately?"

Although in doubt, but I asked him also for just a pleasantries, actually I do not really care also Farah wants to live where now.

He was Kejora, the first sister of Farah, a year after we got married, and she was also following up for marriage, even though she had just graduated from High School for one year, but because there was a good man who asked for it, so his whole family also approved of it.

" Yes A, Farah's tea lives in my late husband's house." He answered while looking down and rubbing the princess's curly hair.

" Deceased? you mean your husband is dead?"

I was shocked to hear it, because I did not hear from anyone after he came home.

" Yes A, my husband crashed in the Toll, and died on the spot."

" Gosh, I'm sorry Kejora, Aa didn't know about it at all, because your neighbor didn't tell you at all.

" No papa A, it happened not long ago, last night just finished the hundred-day event of his departure."

It was only fitting that, when I went home sailing that day, I was presented with a bitter reality, so Farah had not had time to tell anything about her family.

" Is your husband's house moving anywhere near here? How did I just know?" I asked in surprise, because as far as I know her husband's house is not in this area, it is one city, but the distance is quite far.

" Don't move A, stay there, but I open a small restaurant near here, because here it's more rame, the purchasing power of the surrounding community is also more, yes, because I also have to finance Diamonds also A, it is impossible to continue to bother parents too." Say it slowly.

Even though I had problems with her brother, but her brother never had problems with me, they were always polite with me, maybe because they knew I was a contributor to the flow of funds in her family or indeed her heart was good.

" Yes A. sustenance, soul mate and death are indeed arranged, even since we have not been born and maybe this is already his way, owh ya. next time stop by A, next time stop by A, in my restaurant, although not fancy and big, but comfortable enough to just enjoy rice liwet, hehe..."

" Yes..the next time I must stop by, tetehmu used to say, among you brothers indeed you are the most good at cooking, let alone making typical Sundanese cuisine."

" Hehe... Aa can, just home cooking A, self-taught, which is important not toxic and make full only." Kejora immediately blushed and chose to humble, when praised by his own brother-in-law.

" So you go back and forth every day from the restaurant to your house? that far enough?"

" Not every day A, if visitors rame until night, I nginep in the restaurant, there is also a halfway house, although small but comfortable to stay both the same Diamond."

" Oh.. that way, living anywhere is not a problem, what matters is your health there huh Diamond?" I went back to the cheek of the little girl, she did look very adorable.

" Oh yes A, may I say a little more emm.. but sorry before, no offense A?"

She seemed hesitant, but I guess she would want to talk about my relationship with Farah, but it didn't matter to me, because sooner or later, her whole family should know about this too.

" Diamonds play there first, mama wants to talk to uncle for a minute."

" Okay, mama." Diamond immediately ran back, forgetting the scuff wound on his leg whose blood had already begun to dry up.

" Look A, despite Aa's problems, I represent my whole family wants to apologize to Aa, A Lewis has sacrificed a lot for my family, but it turns out Farah's tea is like that.."

" Do you know the story?" I asked while observing the look on his face that looked sad.

" Farah's tea didn't want to tell me at first, when I asked why A Lewis was suing for divorce, but because I was curious, I just tried to ask the lawyer, he said, because as far as I know the relationship between the two of you all along will be fine, lasting no problem, but why Aa to sue for divorce, it is certainly not a trivial matter, and it turns out to be true, but why Aa until suing for divorce, it is certainly not a trivial matter, and it turns out to be true, the error of teteh is indeed very large and may indeed not be forgiven."

" I didn't believe in your behavior at first either, but again, the evidence is too strong to deny it."

" I'm sorry A, although Farah's tea mistake may not be forgivable, but we and our family apologize profusely to Aa, I'm also confused why Farah's tea became like that."

" Do your parents know?"

" No, Farah's tea just told me, because she lives in my place, she said she's afraid to say it's all the same family in the village."

" Hmm. Yeah, slow down, everyone can understand."

" Em... Even if this is inappropriate, can our family still be in touch with Aa later? we promise we won't bother Aa's family anymore, but we also don't want to be hated by Aa, because Aa is already like our own real family."

" Certainly, the one who made the mistake was your neighbor, if your family was very good with Aa, so it wouldn't get in the way of our friendship, though it might not be as close as it used to be."

" No papa A, the important thing is that Aa doesn't hate us, that's more than enough, thanks to A Lewis, Aa is the best thing ever."

Even the Kejora habit of reviving my hand was still repeated, from the look on his face, he looked very happy.

" Mama...! he said yesterday when Eyang Uti asked, mama does not want to date again, then why now dating?"

" Eh.. who's dating, he's your uncle dear, he's aunt Farah's husband loh, ehh? lah.. how is this talking?"

" Of course, he's still a child of the Kejora." I just smiled to see it.

" If he's not your girlfriend, so maybe if I'm dating this uncle, he's nice and also handsome, Diamond wants to be his girlfriend, how's Uncle?"

" Pffthh.. bahahaha... hey...he's your uncle dear Diamond, where is it?"

" Why can't you Ma?" Ask Diamond really.

" Well, so what from now on are you uncle's girlfriend, pretty?" Playing around with a kid is even more fun for me right now.

" Yes, hu um!" Diamond nodded her head steadily, even the curly bangs of her hair swung with her funny.

" Well... Then, from today on we become diamonds?" Seeing him talk like that made me feel even more anxious.

" Yeahaaaay.. I have a boyfriend. I have a girlfriend, horaayy!" Diamonds cheerfully cheer.

" God Diamond?"

Kejora could only shake his head with a sweet smile on his face and reddened cheeks, as he might be ashamed to see the behavior of his little boy, who seemed to grow up prematurely.

Pov End's

Life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people.

So learn to accept those imperfections, so that we can enjoy happiness later on.
